New to typing? Start here

  1. Place your fingers on the home row (A S D F — J K L ;).
  2. Take this 1-minute test once to record your starting speed.
  3. Follow the finger placement and home row lessons.
  4. Repeat this test every few days — most beginners gain 5–10 WPM in the first month.

Don’t worry about a low score. 10–20 WPM is normal for a first test. Accuracy above 90% matters more than speed at this stage.

Frequently asked questions

What is a normal typing speed for a beginner?

Between 10 and 25 WPM. Speed rises quickly once you learn touch typing and stop looking at the keyboard.

How long does it take to learn typing?

With 15–20 minutes a day, most people learn touch typing in 2–4 weeks and reach 30–40 WPM in 2–3 months.

Should I focus on speed or accuracy first?

Accuracy first. Fast but inaccurate typing builds bad habits, and exams deduct mistakes from your speed.
